Chapter 84

Huang Zhong did not have much travel money on him.

His son Huang Xu was staying with him in a small inn on the outskirts of the city.

Gu Yi and Zhao Zilong followed Huang Zhong to this place.

Along the way, they talked a lot about Huang Zhong's previous experiences and Huang Xu's condition.

According to what Huang Zhong said.

Gu Yi inferred that Huang Xu was likely physically weak from birth and caught a cold, which left a root cause of illness, leading to his poor physical condition.

However, when he saw Huang Xu, he was still shocked by how emaciated he was.

At this moment, Huang Xu was not so much weak as he was on the verge of death.

It was no wonder Huang Zhong was so anxious.

In this state, if he wasn't treated immediately, even if a divine physician were reborn, there would be no way to save him.

Thinking of this, Gu Yi said:

"Hansheng, find a stable carriage and send your son to my mansion."

"Then invite a physician to treat him."

"For the next few days, don't travel anymore; just stay in my mansion for the time being, how about that?"

"This..."

Gu Yi's promise to contribute to treating Huang Xu's illness already made Huang Zhong feel guilty.

To trouble Gu Yi further at this moment, this honest man Huang Zhong was truly embarrassed.

"Alright, stop dawdling."

"Treating the illness is the priority."

Having said that, Gu Yi didn't wait for Huang Zhong's reply and simply had Zhao Zilong quickly find a carriage to send Huang Xu back to the mansion.

Subsequently, Gu Yi personally went to the Prime Minister's mansion to inform Old Dong of this matter.

And he hoped that Old Dong could send a physician with decent medical skills to examine Huang Xu.

Old Dong was someone who cherished talent.

After hearing what Gu Yi said, he didn't say a word and directly sent people to the palace to find several highly respected imperial physicians.

Although these imperial physicians might not be comparable to eternal famous doctors like Zhang Zhongjing or Hua Tuo.

But being able to treat the Emperor in the imperial palace was in itself an affirmation of their medical skills.

After several of them examined Huang Xu's condition.

They believed that although the illness could not be cured at the moment.

Saving Huang Xu's life from the gates of hell was still not a problem.

For this, Huang Zhong was extremely grateful.

It was visible to the naked eye that after drinking the medicine left by the imperial physicians, the expression on Huang Xu's face was much better.

It was no longer like before, where it seemed he could die at any moment.

After the imperial physicians left, Huang Zhong even knelt on the ground with a "thud" to thank Gu Yi for his life-saving grace.

"Hansheng, what are you doing?"

"Get up quickly."

Gu Yi helped Huang Zhong up from the ground.

But Huang Zhong insisted on thanking Gu Yi for saving Huang Xu's life.

Thinking for a moment, Gu Yi said:

"Since Hansheng insists, it would not be good for me to refuse again."

"Moreover, Young Master Huang's illness indeed requires quiet recuperation, and he should not travel for the time being."

"How about this, Hansheng, why don't you stay and serve as the commander of my personal guards?"

To this, Huang Zhong naturally nodded and agreed without even thinking.

For a period of time before, the captain of Gu Yi's personal guards was Zhao Zilong.

But after his meritorious service at Hulao Pass, Zhao Zilong had been appointed as a Captain.

The position of captain of Gu Yi's personal guards naturally became vacant.

Now, Huang Zhong's arrival just happened to fill this vacancy.

And for Huang Zhong, this was also an excellent arrangement.

He could both repay Gu Yi's kindness and look after his sick son Huang Xu at any time.

It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

Having accepted such a fierce general as Huang Zhong, Gu Yi's mood also became much better.
